[html-lists] How to markdown nested list items in Bitbucket?

I'm trying to see my markdown nested list items rendered with corresponding indentation when viewed in a browser live from the Bitbucket pages. But I can't figure out how it works even when using their examples (updated):

* Item 1
* Item 2
* Item 3
  * Item 3a
  * Item 3b
  * Item 3c

It ignores indentation for items 3a-c:

I want it to look like this (syntax works perfectly fine on SE and Github):

Their list in list example is particularly unacceptable:

1. Step 1
2. Step 2
3. Step 3
   * Item 3a
   * Item 3b
   * Item 3c

Here's a repo I set up just for this.

This worked for me in Bitbucket Cloud.

Entering this:

* item a
* item b
** item b1
** item b2
* item3

I've got this:

Possibilities

• It is possible to nest a bulleted-unnumbered list into a higher numbered list.
• But in the bulleted-unnumbered list the automatically numbered list will not start: Its is not supported.
  • To start a new numbered list after a bulleted-unnumbered one, put a piece of text between them, or a subtitle: A new numbered list cannot start just behind the bulleted: The interpreter will not start the numbering.

in practice

1. Dog

   1. German Shepherd - with only a single space ahead.
   2. Belgian Shepherd - max 4 spaces ahead.
      • Number in front of a line interpreted as a "numbering bullet", so making the indentation.
        • ..and ignores the written digit: Places/generates its own, in compliance with the structure.
        • So it is OK to use only just "1" ones, to get your numbered list.
          • Or whatever integer number, even of more digits: The list numbering will continue by increment ++1.
        • However, the first item in the numbered list will be kept, so the first leading will usually be the number "1".
   3. Malinois - 5 spaces makes 3rd level already.
      1. MalinoisB - 5 spaces makes 3rd level already.
      2. Groenendael - 8 spaces makes 3rd level yet too.
         55. Tervuren - 9 spaces for 4th level - Intentionaly started by "55".
         56. TervurenB - numbered by "88", in the source code.

2. Cat

   1. Siberian; a. SiberianA - problem reproduced: letters (i.e. "a" here) not recognized by the interpreter as "numbering".
      • No matter, it is indented to its separated line, in the source code.
   2. Siamese
      • a. so written manually as a workaround misusing bullets, unnumbered list.

4 spaces do the trick even inside definition list:

Endpoint
: `/listAgencies`

Method
: `GET`

Arguments
:   * `level` - bla-bla.
    * `withDisabled` - should we include disabled `AGENT`s.
    * `userId` - bla-bla.

I am documenting API using BitBucket Wiki and Markdown proprietary extension for definition list is most pleasing (MD's table syntax is awful, imaging multiline and embedding requirements...).

Even a single space works

...Just open this answer for edit to see it.

Nested lists, deeper levels: ---- leave here an empty row * first level A item - no space in front the bullet character * second level Aa item - 1 space is enough * third level Aaa item - 5 spaces min * second level Ab item - 4 spaces possible too * first level B item

Nested lists, deeper levels:

• first level A item - no space in front the bullet character
  • second level Aa item - 1 space is enough
    • third level Aaa item - 5 spaces min
  • second level Ab item - 4 spaces possible too

• first level B item

  Nested lists, deeper levels:
   ...Skip a line and indent eight spaces. (as said in the editor-help, just on this page)
  * first level A item - no space in front the bullet character
   * second level Aa item - 1 space is enough
       * third level Aaa item - 5 spaces min
      * second level Ab item - 4 spaces possible too
  * first level B item
